Answer:

15 m and 53 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the rectangular field = x m

and width = y m

From the statement "Length is 7m less than 4 times the width"

x = 4y - 7 ----------(1)

"perimeter of the field is 136 m."

2 (x + y) = 136

x + y = 68 ---------(2)

Now we replace the value of x from equation 1 to 2

4y - 7 + y = 68

5y - 7 = 68

5y = 68 + 7 = 75

y = 15 m

From equation (2)

x + 15 = 68

x = 68 - 15

= 53 m

Therefore, length and width of the field are 15 m and 53 m.

P = 2(L + W)
P = 136
L = 4W - 7

136 = 2(4W - 7 + W)
136 = 2(5W - 7)
136 = 10W - 14
136 + 14 = 10W
150 = 10W
150/10 = W
15 = W <=== width is 15 m

L = 4W - 7
L = 4(15) - 7
L = 60 - 7
L = 53 <== length is 53 m

How to get 2|5 of 84.78

Elza [17]

You can see 84.78 as $\frac{84.78}{1}$ .

So, you can see the problem as $\frac{84.78}{1} * \frac{2}{5}$

First, multiply all the numerators together and all the denominators together.

You end up with $\frac{169.56}{5}$

A number raised to a negative exponent is negative. always never sometimes

Romashka [77]

It is negative only when the number itself is negative.
hence, sometimes.

Find an equation for the plane that is tangent to the surface z equals ln (x plus y )at the point Upper P (1 comma 0 comma 0 ).

alexira [117]

Let $f(x,y,z)=z-\ln(x+y)$ . The gradient of $f$ at the point (1, 0, 0) is the normal vector to the surface, which is also orthogonal to the tangent plane at this point.

So the tangent plane has equation

$\nabla f(1,0,0)\cdot(x-1,y,z)=0$

Compute the gradient:

$\nabla f(x,y,z)=\left(\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial x},\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial y},\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial z}\right)=\left(-\dfrac1{x+y},-\dfrac1{x+y},1\right)$
